[REQUEST] [APP] benchmarkpi apk needed ...

I need benchmarkpi apk to test my nexus one
thanks a lot ...

It's on the Market.

I Don't have access to market ....

I need this app too as I do not have access to the Android Market and cannot find this in any other Android app site. thank you.

Here is benchmarkpi + couple other benchmark apps you might find useful.

Thank you very much Karolis!!

Thanks to maedox & Karolis .

Off the topic, is there a way for someone with an Android phone to email me the app (the .apk file)? My brother-in-law has an Android phone and I was curious if there was a way he can send me apps that are only available in the Android Market.
Thanks!

I need 0xbench.apk, x-benchmark.apk, GLBenchmark_1.1.4_Android_Community.apk

Use something like astro to backup or does appbrian the website allow you to DL before installing?

(Q) Any ideas on market restrictions?

I was wondering if anyone knew what the cause of the apps that don't appear in the market even w/ improved market fix.
I have been trying to see if I can find the common denominator with these apps and I am coming up empty. Trying to create a running thread and identify some apps that don't so I can email the dev to see if there are restrictions present that we can't see. A couple I have noticed that I use daily are.

Dolphin HD (dolphin mini shows up)

Google has not officially certified the gtab for its use on the Android Market.

romanrish,
I know the feeling. I used to be able to see Launcherpro and even purchased it for my GTablet. Now with the new market (and all the fixes) I can't see it and have no way to tell when it gets an update other than going to the developers web site. BAH!

@Butch I am fully aware that Google has not certified the Gtablet for the market. This is more of a technical discussion. There are checks that are performed to identify what you should see in the market.
One of which is obviously looking at your build fingerprint. Since this action doesn't appear to have any consequences like changing you device ID probably would. I am trying to figure if there is a way to intercept these checks to display a different device w/out editing the build.prop which may cause instability or worse.
Any ideas?

FYI: I have the new market and had to do the "Market Fix" (stop Market service, stop Google Framework, clear data on Framework) several times before I could "see" Launcher Pro and ADW...
It eventually worked and I was able to install both via the Market -- and now they show up fine inc. updates...
What I can't see (yet) is the EA Games that were on sale for 99cents...I am only able to see two -- FIFA (bought) and Tetris -- but I'm guessing it is something to do with the rest of the games not being supported on tablets. (I think NFS Shift even states not supported on Samsung Galaxy Tab)

I just tried the build prop from my droid2 for shiggles. It is kinda ballsy, but root explorer backs up your old build prop so I figured what the heck and gave it a shot. It seems that everything is here I haven't found any side effects. This is working great. Any app I was looking for is there now. This is the build fingerprint I used
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/droid2_vzw/ cdma_droid2/droid2:2.2/VZW/23.20:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

romanrish: Did you have to do anything special post-mod of the build.prop when you changed it to your Droid2 string?
Market fix?

where is the Xfinity TV app?

All my other android devices can download the app from the market.. I cannot from the app market with my xoom.. can anyone else find it? please help

If you cannot find it it is most likely because Comcast decided it is not compatible with Honeycomb, thus it won't show up in the Market. As a control, check the web market (http://market.android.com), search for the app, and see if the Xoom shows as compatible device. If not, you might want to try sideloading the apk.

I am using this one here. It works decently. It is also on my HD2 running gingerbread. Scrolling is a bit choppy.

When viewing the app in market (on other phones, or the web), the description does say its not compatible for tablets.
In Comcast's support forums, they also say its not compatible with tablets.
If you really want it.. install it on your phone, back up the app with Astro File Manager (or the like), copy the APK over to your Xoom and install it.
I'll admit I have mixed results using the Xfinity TV and Xfinity Mobile apps on my Xoom.

[Q] Stream netflix over vpn

I have a PC in the US and a netflix account, currently I'm on (a long) vacation in a different country where netflix doesn't work.
I want to install some VPN solution on my PC there and watch netflix on my transformer, is there an app that can connect to such vpn and direct all/some traffic through there?
What should I install on my PC? OpenVPN? I don't suppose hamachi can work? I already use that...
Thanks

You can probably use MyCloud (SplashTop), I've tried it before and it work OK.
Follow this tutorial and I got it set up on the first try.

thanks, I saw some old threads about this, but a networking solution feels better than a remote desktop.

Try strongvpn account. Set it up on your eepad and watch netflix without need for PC. Youll need to install netflix app on your eeepad of course.

Root then use the modded system file to watch it directly from your phone

I use playon
It works great. A little expensive but you get hulu, netflix, cbs.com, and many others.

I use hideipvpn (see below), currently on iPad but as soon as next gen of Android tablets will see the daylight I am moving on to one of them (preferably Transformer 2 - anything but Tegra 2 ;-) ).
Plus I would like to use netflix app like on iPad - without the need for any hocus - pocus.

Proxpn is great. If you subscribe to premium you can use their pptp servers without any extra software. You just add a VPN in honeycombed settings. $10 gets you a bunch of US servers, UK and maybe more.

hideipvpn works great for me too!

Android apps installment

When comes to apps selection in google play, android is now catch up with apps store from ios. However when comes to apps installment, android still lagging behind. Small apps are not problems to install, but when comes to big apps like HD games it's big problem. For example like Real Racing 3. I saw this game in google play, i download it then start the app. The app demand to download the game data so i allowed it. The problem is while doing such task, my android device can't be used for another task. I really jealous when ios user can download every apps they need via itunes and then just sync with their devices to install it. Imagine if i have 2 android devices, and i want to install 1 app to those devices that i have to download twice to those devices. And yes, all my android devices are rooted so titanium backup is ready. But the problem is an app that can run in 1 device can't run in another device because some problem like different screen resolution or gpu or even brand.
I dont own any ios devices and i like android alot. Android devices history like horse power races. Each year all manufactures race to sell more powerfull phone to market, but somehow can't be utilized to maximum potent because of fragmentation.
Tl:dr : is there any way to install large app via pc
Sorry for bad english
Thx

You can install apps on your phone using your computer by going to play.google.com. I haven't tried it with large apps but it works really well for small apps. You simply find the app, press install/buy and select which device it should be installed on.
You must be logged on your Google account for this to work.

That method only send order to download to your phone and the task to download is still done by the phone not the pc
